I bought a new 30 gb ipod a few months ago. I have limited space on my laptop and I am too cheap to buy an external hard drive.

Is there anyway to download music, load it onto the ipod, and then erase it from my computer without it being erased from the ipod the next time I connect it to the computer?

Thanks for any help

Certainly. If you go into iTunes' preferences, -> iPod and choose "update manually" (or something like that. Don't have my iPod plugged in right now so I can't see), you can then manage all the tunes manually, meaning that you can load them up onto the iPod and then delete them from the computer.
